In this message from our Christmas series A Patchwork Christmas, Pastor Mary Johnson walks through the story of Joseph and the unexpected pain he faced when life did not turn out the way he imagined. Teaching from Matthew 1, she reminds us that devastation is a real part of life, but God meets us in the middle of our brokenness rather than minimizing it.

This message explores how God speaks during seasons of pain, how He reframes our perspective, and how faith often requires trusting Him when the situation defies logic. Through Joseph’s obedience, we see how God can turn pain into purpose and weave broken plans into His greater story.

If you are navigating grief, uncertainty, or disappointment, this message offers hope that God is near, faithful, and at work even when the path feels unclear.
